So we are stuck with trading.
Millions of users use it correctly and responsibly but remove it because some don't? Yeah, no.

All the safeguards and warnings have reduced scamming in the platform to a nominal value.
You can't make a system proof against all fools. But Steam has it quite close to it.
There's many inventory items that do not translate well to a marketplace only enviroment. And quite some of them come from Valve games.
All the TF2 economy would turn upside down the moment all items became part of the marketplace (and had an actual monetary value), for example.
Sadly, I am sure there are 3rd parties that already gave them a value. Even more so that they are not marketable.
But making them non-tradable would't mean they had to become marketable either.
I agree.
It stops 3rd party sales where people "cash out" and stops skin gambling.
If that would be a good thing or not is a complete different debate.
